ED Misdiagnosis of Cerebrovascular Events in the Era of Modern Neuroimaging
Neurol 88:1468-1477, Tarnutzer, A.A.,et al, 2017
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Roughly 9% of cerebrovascular events are missed at initial ED presentation. Risk of misdiagnosis is much greater when presenting neurologic complaints are mild, nonspecific, or transient (range 24%-60%). This difference suggests that many misdiagnoses relate to symptom-specific factors. Future research should emphasize studying causes and designing error-reduction strategies in symptom-specific subgroups at greatest risk of misdiagnosis.
